Between Myself and Them

Between Myself and Them is the best collection of disability short stories that I have ever read. Ever.
Between Myself and Them is a book that you will want to own multiple copies of; one for yourself and copies to lend out to friends, family, coworkers and yes even your doctors.  You will not only want to share the enjoyment of this book (for which there is an abundance) you will also want to spread the 'understanding.'  There are so many universal disability truths and experiences shared in Between Myself and Them that will allow the able-bodieds in our lives to 'get it', to really understand what it is to be different, and will have the crip community nodding it's collective head in agreement.

I would like to thank Second Story Press for the opportunity to review such an enjoyable literary treasure.

CWD for Dummies

Crip World Domination for Dummies (dummies are usually the able-bodied folk such as The Dreaded Scheduling Secretaries and The Dumpers but in this case we won't take that too literally.)  I just love this.  "Crush all who oppose you!  Learn how to trip up people or run them over!  Learn to use the Power Stare!"

A great addition to the CWD campaign!

O.k., this quick reference guide isn't really available (yet!).  It is the masterfull creation of the Geezer with a Meezer.

Cancergiggles: Mountains are Easy

Some of you may be familiar with the Cancergiggles Blog.  Now you can enjoy Cass Brown's humor and experiences in book form!  Cancergiggles (Mountains are Easy) published yesterday. 
"At the beginning of January 2004 Cancergiggles began life as a series of random articles which I posted on the internet.  With about 3 years experience of living with cancer and having come close to being a very dead person, I thought I may be able to pass on a few thoughts which may help or comfort people who found themselves in a similar hilarious sitution." --Cass Brown
